Women are dominating the 2024 Paris Olympics. On Team USA, they are taking home significantly more medals than the men and more than double the amount of golds, thanks to some history-making moments from Katie Ledecky and Simone Biles.
Female athletes are winning off the podium too—by showing up for, speaking out in support of, and fangirling over each other—no matter the country, game, or score. At a time when the whole world feels divided on almost everything, watching rivals become BFFs reminds us of the healing power of good sportsmanship—and what women are capable of achieving when they are not being pitted against each other.
Maybe it's the magic of brat summer, or the fact that a woman is running for the United States' highest political office. Whatever it is, Girlympics is in full force—and the femininomenon shows no signs of slowing down. After the jump, five gold medal-worthy moments of women supporting women at the Paris Games. |
